Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
No problem, gt. Glad to help. I visit the site at least once a week to see if he has anything but I'm not in a rush, so it's not an issue for me that nothing's come out yet. I'm a ways off from building mine, too. I have a couple of other projects on the go that I have to wrap up first.

Yes, there are a few pages of the 32" Falcon in the book but nowhere near as many as the 5ft. I'll try to get them scanned for you sometime this week.

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
I had to use both hands to push the book down on the binding edge to minimize the distortion as it was being scanned. I was concerned that it may damage the binding but it seems to be holding up so far. I've had a request for some of the other ships but I haven't decided yet if I will proceed with any more.

gardensnome ,
Mate , that’s a very generous offer .
I’d rather not put you to the trouble , and certainly wasn’t expecting it . You’ve shared more than enough . Thank you .
I mentioned that I hope to purchase a copy myself in the future , and I was just wondering if it would contain photos / images of the 32” as well ? . Your reply that it does , is plenty impetus to continue saving up towards one .
:cheersGed

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
I hear that, I'm a strict ESB guy, love the extra landing gear. I wasn't going to even bother with the PG kit because of it. Then I realized I could probably mod the MPC parts to work...then it occurred to me that I could just ask Tony to work some up, as he has so many other things for so many of us. That Tony is aces, super dude.

Thank you very, very much for the amazing scans, gardensnome. They will come in handy when I do my build, very much appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
I'd leave it until you have the upper and lower hulls assembled and attached. Once everything is in place, you might not have a problem with engine deck. If you do still have a problem. I'm not sure cutting the support away will do anything. A better option (and it was described a few pages back) is to add magnets to hold the deck in place.

Close-up of the gorgeous weathering that paint maestro StevetheSwede has put onto this wonderful model for me. Thanks Steve!
And now the little tiny squares and rectangles have been added to complete the ILM-style paintjob.

Last November I asked both ParaGrafix and GreenStrawberry if they had any plans for PE sets and both said they hope to work/ release something in the 1st half of this year.

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
Thanks for the info brother, I suppose I'll hold off starting this one for a while then, plenty of other stuff to do anyway. One would think they'd had that going by now huh...

Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
I thought this may be helpful to some. Here is a paint swatch I did to compare Tamiya AS-20 with Archive-X Reefer white. Both are painted onto black primer with a white strip for color balance. The black primer definitely makes the colors more grey.

It should be noted the original 5 ft. Falcon was not painted Reefer White. It was painted Krylon Platinum Grey. So the AS-20 is a closer match. The 32 inch Falcon was according to some a mix of 50/50 Reefer White and Grime.
